  7. Measures of Success • FGDC votes to adopt the new datum for U.S. geospatial data. • All NOAA geospatial products are consistent with the new datum. • NOAA geospatial products are understood and accepted by users. • Tools exist which facilitate modernization of legacy data. • New datums replace NAD83/NAVD88 in state and local regulations, documentation Risks • “Existing datums are good enough”, reduces enthusiasm for adopting the new. • Access to global (ITRF) & local (RTN, LDP) frames reduces the utility of a NAREF frame. • Das Unheimliche; frustration and cognitive dissonance increase with accuracy. Assumptions • IERS will continue to provide an ITRF common to all GNSS & other navigation systems. • GIS vendors will provide user-friendly solutions to modernize legacy data.

  8. Source: Zurich-American Insurance Group A man with one watch will always know the time, A man with two watches will always be in doubt. • accessible • accurate • constant • seamless • simple

  9. metadata to the rescue • your positional metadata should include: • datum • epoch • source • these will facilitate transforming from current to new datum • maintaining your original survey data will provide more accurate results

  10. eppur si muove <and yet it moves> • A fixed reference frame will drift from international frame, at different rates for “unstable” parts of US

  11. U.S. CORS Velocity Field – ITRF2008 (IGS08 epoch 2005.0) • accessible • accurate • constant • seamless • simple

  12. U.S. CORS Velocity Field - NAD83(2011) epoch 2010.0 • accessible • accurate • constant • seamless • simple
